WP:IINFO This list is just a replica of the one on the UCAS website, the information is not updated as it is on the UCAS website, there is no reason for it to exist. Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 11:48, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OpposeI am not sure it really is a replica of a list on any one page of the UCAS website. It does draw on the source code of a dropdown menu on one page on the UCAS website but I have made some formatting changes and added links to other Wikipedia articles. I don't think the fact that a list exists elsewhere on the internet is in itself a reason not to have the list on Wikipedia. For example, I would expect to see a list of members of the UK Cabinet on Wikipedia and on a UK Government website.After the changes I suggested was made, I would now like to change my vote to a Keep vote.Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 20:53, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Update: I have added more sources to help demonstrate notability. John Cross (talk) 21:10, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- My argument is not that it is a replica of the UCAS website, or its notability (I think it is notable) that was kind of just an additional point. I don't see how this article is encyclopedic. Just as you would not see an article listing the combination of buttons for moves in Tekken. If the article title was changed to something along the lines of "a list of institutions recognized by UCAS", then it would be different, because then it would be an Index of articles. Fundamentally, for the article as it is now, I don't think the list serves any of the purposes listed here WP:LISTPURP Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 09:11, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Update: I have now changed the name to List of UCAS institutions. That means there is a redirect page that may or may not need deleting. John Cross (talk) 05:15, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Relisting comment: Relisting so that newly applied sources can be evaluated. BusterD (talk) 12:43, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Following cleanup and page move, this is an entirely appropriate list. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 15:37, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment calling it 'List of UCAS institutions' suggests that these organisations are owned and operated by UCAS. Is that right? Either way I'm not sure whether a list like this is appropriate for an encyclopaedia. TehGrauniad (talk) 17:05, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
